dévāḥ kapóta iṣitó yád ichán dūtó nírr̥tyā idám ājagā́ma |
tásmā arcāma kr̥ṇávāma níṣkr̥tiṃ śáṃ no astu dvipáde śáṃ cátuṣpade ||1||
Seeking what, O gods, the sent dove, messenger of perdition, hath come hither, to it will we sing praises, make removal; weal be [it] to our bipeds, weal to our quadrupeds.
6.27.2
śiváḥ kapóta iṣitó no astv anāgā́ devā́ḥ śakunó gr̥háṃ naḥ |
agnír hí vípro juṣátām havír naḥ pári hetíḥ pakṣíṇī no vr̥ṇaktu ||2||
Propitious to us be the sent dove, harmless, O gods, the hawk (çakuná) [sent] to our house; for let the inspired (vípra) Agni enjoy our oblation, let the winged missile avoid us.
6.27.3
hetíḥ pakṣíṇī ná dabhāty asmā́n āṣṭrī́ padáṃ kr̥ṇute agnidhā́ne |
śivó góbhya utá púruṣebhyo no astu mā́ no devā ihá hiṃsīt kapóta ||3||
May the winged missile not harm us; it maketh its track on the hearth, in the fire-holder; propitious be it unto our kine and men; let not the dove, O gods, injure us here.
